RECLEANING ATTACHMENT FOR CLOVER THRASl-llNG AND HULLlNG MACHINES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 315,906, dated April1%, 1885. Application filed January 22, 1885. (No model.)

Be it known that I, Hownnn CAMPBELL, a scribe the same indetail,refercnce being made citizen of the United States, residing atRichto the drawings, wheremond,Wayne county, Indiana, have invented 1The number 1 indicates the frameof a grainnew and useful Improvements inRecleaning separator or clover thrashing and boiling ma- Attachments.for Glover Threshing and Hullchine, and 2 one of the riddles of themain 55 ing Machines, of which the following is a specishoe thereof.fication. The frame 3 of the rccleaner is secured to This inventionrelates to improvements in the wall of the separator, as by screwspassthat class of recleaning attachments for clover ing through lugs 4,such recleaner comprising,

boiling and thrashing machines in which the as here shown,thereceiving-hopper 5, the fan 63 seed from the machine is delivered to aneleor blower 6, the vibratory or shaking shoe 7, vator, which carriesthe same upward and discontaining one or more screens, S,and operatedcharges itinto thehopper of therecleaner,fron1 by a pitman, 9, from thefanshaft 10 or other- I 5 whenceitpasses to the operating-screenstherewise. of, the tailingsfrom the screens being received An elevatoris arranged between the re- 6 5 To all whom it may concern: \make anduse my invention, I will now devator, to be again elevated and passedthrough and it consists, preferably, of an endless band therecleaner-as,for cxample,in the invention or chain, 11, traveling around top andbottom 20 for which Letters Patent No. 296,922 were iswheels, andcarrying buckets to take up the sued to me April 15, 1884. In such thetailtailings, &c., received from the separator by ings containing foulstuii' are continuously a chute, l2, and conveying the same upwardcarried around and through the recleaner, to the receivinghoppcr 5.thereby clogging the sieves and encumbering A movable conveyer,composed, as here 25 their perfect operation, and also interferingshown, of a trough-shaped spout, 13, is suswith the perfect cleaning ofthe seed. pended transversely in the rear end of the re- 7 5 The objectof my presentinvention isto avoid cleaner-frame, directly beneath thedischarge these objections; and to such ends my invention end of theshaking shoe and the screen or consists in the combination, with aclover screens thereof, such spout passing through 0 thrashing andhulling machine and a reclcanan opening in the inner wall of therecleanering attachment attached thereto, of a moving frame, and througha similar opening, 14, in or shaking conveyor arranged beneath thedisthe wall of the grain-scparator,so that the discharge end of therecleaner screen or screens, charge end of the spout will be above theridand extending through the threshing and hulldie 2 of the main shoe ofthe separator. The 3 5 ing machine above the riddle of the main shoespout 13 is inclined in a downward direction thereof,fortaking thetailings from the recleanfrom its inner end,which is supported by suit-8 5 er and discharging them directly upon the ridable flexibleconnections, 15, attached to the die of the main shoe of thethrasherandhuller. separator-frame, while the other end of the The invention isillustrated in the accomspout is suspended by links 16 from the rep h opanying drawings, in which Figurel is a side cleaner-frame in suchmanner that the spout elevation of part of a grain-separator with my isfree to be vibrated in a horizontal plane. co

invention connected therewith; Fig. 2, a view In orderto move the spoutand thereby comwith the outer side wall of the recleaner repel thetailings to pass to the riddle of the moved; Fig. 3, a rear end of therecleaner, separator, I provide a rockcrnrni-or bell- 5 showing aportion of the grain-separator in crank lever, 17, pivoted at its angleto a suitsection; and Fig. 4, a detail plan view of the able fixedsupport, 18, and pivotally connected 5 movlng conveyer and suitablemechanism for at its ends, respectively, to the spent and to operating1t. a block, 19, attached to the inclined bottom In order to enablethose skilled in the art to wall of the shaking shoe 7 of the rccleaner,

whereby the convcyer is operated by the move- I chine provided with ariddle, of a recleaner o ments of the said shoe.

The mixed grain and tailings, together with the shives and other lightforeign and foul matter,pass from the hopper of the recleaner to thescreen or screens thereof, and the tailings pass from the discharge endof the screen or screens into the spout 13, the dust and lighter partsof-foul stuff being blown out and fall on the ground. The shives andother heavier foul stuff are screened out and by the air blast from thefan or blower driven through the open rear end of the recleaner to thespout 13. The tailin gs in the spout are by the movement of the lattercarried into the separator and delivered upon the riddle 2, where thewind currents from the fan or blow-er of the separator so operate thatthe seed contained in the tailings passes through the riddle and goesout with the other clean seed, while the foreign matter is screened outand falls on the ground beneath the machine,

so that the shives and other foul matter do not again pass through therecleaner,thereby preventing the sieves thereof from being encumbered intheir operation.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is 1. The combination,with a thrashing-mahaving a screen, and a moving conveyer arrangedbeneath the discharge end of the screen, for carrying the tailings fromthe screen of the recleaner to the riddle of the thrashingmachine,substantially as described.

'2. The combination, with a thrashing-machine provided with a riddle, ofa recleaner at one side thereof provided with a shaking shoe having ascreen, and a moving conveyer operated by the movements of the shoe, forconveying the tailings from the screen to the riddle of thethrashing-machine, substantially as described.

3. The combination, with a thrashing-machine, of a recleaner at one sidethereof provided with a shaking shoe having ascreen, an inclinedtrough-shaped spout arranged transverse to the recleaner-frame andconveying the tailings from thescreen through the wall of the thrasher,the riddle thereof, means for shaking the spout, and means forsuspending the same, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
